Fundraising

With every bake sale, auction, and social post, you’re helping fund breakthrough research, free rides to treatment, a 24/7/365 live helpline, and so much more.
Relay For Life teams have so much fun raising funds for the American Cancer Society, because they know that every donation helps the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer.

FUNDRAISING Resources

Whether you’re looking for tools to help fundraise or ways to connect with other Relay For Life participants, we have you covered.

Team Fundraising Resources

Your first Relay event usually comes with a million questions. Who better to ask than experienced volunteers and team captains? We have a full discussion board and tons of helpful information available to you.

Raise Your Way

Attacking cancer in your community is easier than ever with Raise Your Way! Turn any activity you’re passionate about into a fundraiser and manage it entirely on your own. Organize a yoga event, throw a dinner party, or even donate your birthday. Anything goes!

HOW FUNDRAISING IMPACTS YOUR COMMUNITY

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same.
Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love.
Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

BADGES AND FUNDRAISING CLUBS

We appreciate that you’re giving your time, passion, and energy to ensure your fundraising
and community event is a success. One way we recognize your efforts is through our badges and
Fundraising Club program. There are badges and clubs for both individual and team fundraising,
along with badges to recognize activity and status levels.

Individual Fundraising Club Levels and Prizes

There are a variety of award gifts available to thank you for your excellence in fundraising.
Most gifts are branded with the Relay For Life logo to help promote the events in your community
every time you use or wear them.
Check out this Relay For Life Fundraising Club pdf
to learn more.

Team Fundraising Club Levels

Your team total is used to determine which status your team earns each year.
After your event, you’ll receive an email with details on how to select and order
the prize you’d prefer. Check with your event staff partner or have a look at this Team Fundraising Club pdf if you have any questions.

RELAY REWARDS

The generosity people give the Relay community is astounding and deserves recognition.
After all, many of the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving research and patient programs
wouldn’t exist without the help of volunteers and their fundraising efforts.

We’re excited to introduce the Relay For Life Awards & Recognition program to show appreciation to the
passion and commitment, and extraordinary accomplishments toward saving lives from cancer.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way.
And we want to stop this disease in its tracks.
We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society.
Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
